22 WORLD NEWS KENYA’S No. 1 FREE NEWSPAPER Global concern as nurse contracts Ebola in Spain This is the first case of transmission outside West Africa since the outbreak of the deadly virus which has killed more than 3, 400 people Madrid, Tuesday A Spanish nurse has contracted Ebola after treating two patients who died from the disease at a Madrid hospital, the government said yesterday, in the first known case of transmission outside of Africa. The 40-year-old began to feel ill We are working to see if all the protocols which were established were strictly followed — Mato on September 30 but did not go to hospital until Sunday, complaining of a fever. Two tests have now confirmed that she has been infected with the deadly virus that has killed more than 3,400 people in West Africa. Spanish health officials are scrambling to find out who she may have come into contact with, and are monitoring 30 people — including her co-workers and husband—closely for symptoms of the deadly disease. The woman was part of a medical team at Madrid’s La Paz-Carlos III hospital that treated two elderly Spanish missionaries who died of Ebola shortly after they were repatriated from Africa. She had gone on holiday the day after the second patient died on September 25, Madrid’s primary healthcare director, Antonio Alemany, said at a news conference, without specifying where she had travelled to. The nurse, who is married without children, is now being treated in isolation at a hospital in Alcorcon, a southern Madrid suburb. She is in a stable condition although still running a fever, Alemany added. News of the nurse’s infection has sparked renewed questions about the Spanish government’s decision to repatriate infected missionaries from Africa, with critics saying that the nation’s hospitals were not Pope okays ‘unfaithful’ bishop’s resignation Vatican, Tuesday Pope Francis has accepted the resignation of a British bishop who stood down after admitting to an affair with a woman, the Vatican said yesterday. “The Holy Father Francis has accepted the resignation of Bishop Kie ran Conry (pictured) from the dioceses of Arundel and Brighton,” a statement said. Conry, 64, apologised in a letter to parishioners to being “unfaithful to my promises as a Catholic priest” but underscored his actions were not illegal and did not involve minors. The Catholic Church has come under pressure to reconsider the tradition of clerical celibacy, which is not an unchangeable doctrine but has been practised for hundreds of years. - AFP DID YOU KNOW? The first human outbreaks occurred in 1976, one in northern Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo) in Central Africa: and the other, in southern Sudan (now South Sudan). The virus is named after the Ebola River, where the virus was first recognised in 1976, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. Typically, symptoms appear 8-10 days after exposure to the virus, but the incubation period can span two to 21 days. Unprotected healthcare workers are susceptible to infection because of their close contact with patients during treatment. An assistant nurse, who treated two Ebola patients at a Madrid hospital, is infected with the virus, health officials said yesterday in what is believed to be the first time a person has contracted the disease in Europe. GRAPHIC: COURTESY adequately equipped to deal with Ebola cases. The nurse had treated Span- ish priest Miguel Pajares, 75, who was infected with Ebola in Liberia and died on August 12, as well as Manuel Garcia Viejo, 69, who was repatriated from Sierra Leone and died on September 25. Pajares was the first patient in the fast-spreading Ebola outbreak to be evacuated to Europe for treatment. Both missionaries were treated in isolation at La Paz-Carlos III hospital, and the medical team that cared for them were closely monitored.

The 64-year-old Venezuelan, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez (pictured), has been held in French jails since 1994 after he was arrested in Su- dan and transferred to France following a series of attacks and murders in the country. In 1997, he received his first life sentence for the murder of a civilian and two policemen more than two decades earlier. Then in 2011 he was found guilty of masterminding attacks on two French passenger trains in 1982 and 1983, a train station in Marseille and a Libyan magazine office in Paris. - AFP Spanish doctors, Amyts, had called the repatriation “risky”. “We are working to see if all the protocols which were established were strictly followed,” Health Minister Ana Mato told the news conference. “Spain follows all the recommendations of the World Health Organisation,” she added. The Ebola virus causes fever, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and sometimes internal and external bleeding. It spreads through contact with the bodily fluids of someone who has the virus, and the only way to stop an outbreak is to isolate those who are infected. - AFP Trio scoop Nobel prize for physics Oslo, Tuesday The 2014 Nobel Prize for physics has been awarded to a trio of Japanese scientists for the invention of blue light emitting diodes (LEDs). The blue LEDs developed by Professors Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura helped produce bright, energy-efficient white light sources. The winners, named at a press conference in Sweden, will share prize money of eight million kronor (Sh100.5 million). The physics Nobel has been awarded to 196 other laureates since 1901. - BBC Igad calls off S Sudan talks MPs to review cash to counties PG25 by George Kebaso @Morarak The Inter-governmental Au- thority on Development (Igad) team mediating in the South Sudanese peace process is disappointed at the absence of inclusive political representation in its bid to unite the Juba authorities. Chief mediator Seyoum Mesfin and his team called off the sittings for 10 days to allow various stakeholders to the process time to consult on a number of issues. “Igad-led multi-stakeholder peace negotiations adjourned today, October 5, 2014. Talks are expected to resume on October 16, 2014 in Addis Ababa,” said a notice from Igad Secretariat. This latest move by the nego- tiating team throws the whole process into uncertainty even as President Salva Kiir’s side recently expressed apprehension on Mesfin’s team to guide the talks objectively. The mediation team said it would continue to engage all parties to unlock the impasse. Igad-led team ad- journed today, October 5, 2014 Tuesday, October 8, 2014 / PEOPLE DAILY
